can we unlock the bootloader and install custom roms ?

What roms can I install if I only have root. ( boot loader is locked)
None. All custom roms require unlocked bootloaders.
Flashtool works with a locked bootloader though right? So he could flash FTFs of stock roms
Is carrier unlocking (only) bootloader related?
In other words, will a custom rom or a custom recovery interfere with the carrier unlock?
If you want to carrier unlock the phone you must be on the original stock rom (the bootloader can be unlocked). You can't carrier unlock the phone on a custom rom. So no they are not related.
So the advice is to carrier unlock the device first before even unlocking the bootloader and after that proceed with custom roms if you wish.
my bootload is unlocked, i have a custom recovery and a custom rom installed
so you are recommending that i restore stock recovery and stock rom and then unlock it (but i dont need to lock the bootloader)?
To carrier unlock you must return to your stock rom and recovery otherwise it won't work. The bootloader can stay unlocked.
I unlocked mine while using MaximusHD with lyapota kernel and twrp recovery installed and I had no problems at all, maybe you just need a Rom based on sense and NOT aosp, cyanogen mod etc.
Hi Forum,
I am wondering if the bootloader is unlocked in the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini ? I got it from a carrier. I want to install custom ROMS, but I heard that rooting doesn't let you install custom ROM's...that the thing that gets you to install custom ROMS is an unlocked bootloader. So does anybody know if it is unlocked ? And if the bootloader is locked, anybody know how to unlock it ? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The bootloader is not locked.
Just flash the custom recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980). Then you can flash any custom ROM in recovery.
Read all about triping KNOX, and if it's OK for you, go ahead.
Is there any way to unlock k012 bootloader? I want to install recovery twrp/cwm or a custom rom may be. Thanks
Are there any custom roms for SM-T807 Model ? Or is it any compatible rom with this model ? Like T805 Custom Rom can be flashed to this device?
I think that no. It is USA Snapdragon version, with locked bootloader, i think. If bootloader is locked, you can't flash any unauthorized ROM's, recoveries (you just can't modify /system partition).
SoI think that the answer is simple - no. There isn't any custom ROM for T807, or any way to unlock bootloader.
If I'm mistaken - sorry
